A visually stunning trip through London, Mexico City, Ireland, Denmark and America, KNIFE EDGE: CHASING MICHELIN STARS pulls you into the highs & lows in some of the most spectacular restaurants in the world. You don't have to be a foodie to enjoy this great, 8-episode documentary detailing, for the first time, the secretive world of Michelin inspectors and the Chefs chasing them. The CIA level tactics they use to keep the anonymity is a lot of fun to watch, as are the secret

OBSESSION is a massive hit and a grisly, clever debut by Curry Barker. He keeps you on the edge of your seat from the minute that damn One Wish Willow stick is snapped until the absolute mad finale. However, the entire movie was nearly derailed for me by our young male lead character, Bear. This isn't to cast any ill will toward actor Michael Johnston, who plays him. Johnston is excellent. But Bear is so soft, so emotionally immobile with a spine made of feathers, that he's n

Every parent battling over screen time with their kids should get them in front of the big screen this weekend to see TOY STORY 5. Pixar's gift for entertaining kids (and adults) of all ages remains intact with this sweet, funny and heartfelt new adventure. Halfway through the film, I was ready to open this review by settling with "even lesser Disney/Pixar is better than any other animated choice" and then the final 25 minutes came together with a perfect bow, delivering huge

WIDOW'S BAY is a hilarious, scary, perfectly eccentric new creation that made me laugh a lot. I've never seen anything like it. How often can you truly say that? Creator Katie Dippold (The Heat, Parks and Recreation) has carefully crafted 10 episodes with a unique, deft blend of horror and comedy that pulled me in from it's very first moments. The cast that Dippold has assembled as citizens of Widow's Bay is nothing less than perfection. Matthew Rhys (The Post, HBO's Perry Ma

Why all the hate for the funny, fast paced and campy new take on MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE? Self-aware and packed with big laughs, it's an instant all-time guilty pleasure that I am shocked bombed with audiences. I went in prepared to roll my eyes and be bored to death after reading all the critics lambasting it as overlong and dull. It's neither! At two hours and 20 minutes, it's not short, but I was having way too much fun to ever be bored. I certainly knew of the He-Man toys

A unique, Southern Grindhouse flick with some serious dramatic roots, IS GOD IS delivers big laughs, tight suspense and some great performances, dripping with blood on its quest for vengeance. This one ain't for the kids. Two sisters scarred literally and figuratively by their violent family past, Racine (Kara Young) and Anaia (Mallori Johnson) live a symbiotic existence on the fringe. Both have serious scars from a horrific fire. Racine's are mostly on her one arm, neck and

A masterpiece of mayhem and the best pure action film since Gareth Evans "The Raid 2: Redemption", THE FURIOUS is a hellbent thriller packed with some of the craziest, most lethal fighting in film history. It's a jaw dropping, hilarious, brilliantly choreographed symphony of violence that rarely stops to take its breath. Along with most of the audience last night, I not only laughed out loud, but I did the rarest of thing in a dark theater for me, I said the same thing out lo

Steven Spielberg delivers his best film in 20 years with the powerful, hopeful & intelligent thriller DISCLOSURE DAY. More "Minority Report" than "Close Encounters", anyone grabbing their popcorn and settling in for another "ET" are in for a surprise. But for me, the final 15 minutes delivered that same heartfelt, stirring aspiration for mankind that we all felt watching ET say goodbye to Elliott 44 summers ago. This is the brilliant summer movie making from our greatest Amer

"Go Home....while you still look like your passport picture....." Adam Scott serves up a great dramatic performance in Damian McCarthy's latest horror mood piece, HOKUM. Scott plays writer Ohm Bauman, who's having trouble wrapping up his famous novel trilogy. We see the current state of the book's ending play out in a bright, color splashed prologue that takes his two characters to a tipping point in the middle of a vast desert. The scene plays as a powerful counterpoint to t

SCARY MOVIE is built to deeply offend anyone who proudly defines their pronouns in their signature line and for that alone, THANK YOU Wayans Bros! A throwback to when we could all laugh at our own crap, the latest installment skewers virtually everyone equally in a no holds barred, adult fashion that had me smiling throughout, but rarely laughing out loud. It's been thirteen years since "Scary Movie 5" so the boys have a whole lot of horror movie fodder to rip into with goofy
